SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 598,827, dated February8, 189,8.

Applic atififfiled- October. 8, 1897.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that LCHRISTOPHER QTRAOY, of Brooklyn, in the county ofKings and State of New York, have invented certain new and usefulImprovements in Games, of which the following is a full, clear, andexact description.

The invention relates to latticed or stainedglass windows; and itsobject is to provide certain new and useful improvements in lead cames,whereby a pane is securely united with the came to prevent rattling andto render the joint between the came and pane waterproof.

The invention consists principally of a came formed at the inside withrecesses or grooves for the reception of cement or other bindingmaterial to hold the pane securely in place between the flanges.

The invention also consists of certain parts and details andcombinations of the same, as will be fully described hereinafter andthen pointed out in the claims.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part ofthis specification, in which similar characters of reference indicatecorresponding parts in all the figures.

Figure 1 is a sectional plan view of the improvement as applied, thesection being on the line 1 1 of Fig. 2. Fig. 2 is a sectional sideelevation of the same on the line 2 2 of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is across-section of a came of slightly-different form. Fig. 4 is asectional side elevation of the lead-press for forming the came, andFig. 5 is an inverted plan view of the plunger and die for the press.

The came A is provided with flanges B and a middle rib or core 0 forseparating the panes D from each other, the said panes extending betweenthe flanges B, as is plainly indicated in the drawings.

In each of the flanges B at the inside thereof are formedlongitudinally-extending recesses or grooves B by providing the saidflanges with longitudinal ratchet-teeth, so that the cement or otherbinding material is securely held in place in the recesses and at thesame time engages the faces of the panes D to cement the latter in placein the came,

came and the window-pane and at the same time preventing the pane frombecoming loose in the came. In order to additionally secure the cement,and consequently the pane, in place, I form the rib or core with longitudinally-extending dovetail grooves O for the reception of the bindingmaterial to firmly adhere to the edge of the pane. Now it is understoodthat by having the longitudinal recesses or corrugations in both flangesand core the came is greatly strengthened without adding to its weight.By the particular form of recesses shown in Figs. 1 and 3 the cement orother binding material is not dislodged upon lateral strain of thepanes, and hence there is no danger of the said material dropping out ofthe caines and causing a consequent loosening of the panes, as is sofrequently the case with the cames now used.

The press for forming the cames is provided with the usual cylinder Eand the plunger F, carrying a die G, formed with an openingcorresponding to the cross section of the came,

and the walls or inner edges of the die are serrated or notched, as isplainly indicated in Fig. 5, to cause the formation of thelongitudinally-extending recesses B and O in the cames A, produced byforcing the plunger F inward against the molten metal contained in thecylinder E. Thus by the arrangement described the recesses are formed atthe time the came is produced in the leadpress, and consequently thecames can be manufactured at the same price as the ordinary caines nowin the market.

Having thus fully described my invention, I claim as new and desire tosecure byLetters Patent-- y 1. A came having a core, and side flangesextending integrally from each side of the came in opposite directions,the inside of the came being formed with a plurality oflongitudinallyextending parallel. recesses or grooves for the receptionof the cement or other binding material to hold the pane in place in thecame, substantially as shown and described.

2. A came formed atits core or rib with longitudinallyextending recessesor grooves for the reception of the cement or other binding materialengaging the edge of the pane in the came, substantially as shown anddescribed.

3. A came formed at its core or rib with dovetail grooves for thereception of the cement or other binding material engaging the edge ofthe pane in the came, substantially as shown and described.

4:. A came having its flanges or sides formed at the inside withlongitudinally-extending 1o ratchet-shaped recesses for the reception ofthe cement or other binding material, substantially as shown anddescribed.
